Sarah Beth Goncarova

Sarah Beth Goncarova is an artist whose visually striking, resonant works explore the balance between the natural and technological landscape. Her art ranges from experiential sculptural installation, using optoelectronics, haptics, and sound, to social practice art, painting, and time-based performance. Trained as a musician, sculptor and architect, she has broadened her scope into such fields as robotics and cytology. Goncarova challenges the conventional role of art in 21st century society, recasting the artist as visionary and innovator.



Combining natural materials with sensors and circuitry, Goncarova skillfully creates magical worlds of light, shadow, sound and silence. Her fantastical environments reveal themselves to the curious, offering a plethora of sensory delights, leading to moving reflections on our primordial relationship between inner and outer landscapes.
